Fresh Chocolate Milk

Sorry Georgie boy, I know it take’s me forever, but you need to learn some patience if you intend to ask this city girl for a glass of milk. It is amazing how much work goes into one liter of milk! Ok, new recipe for everyone.  Mattaw’s World Class Chocolate Milk: 1) 1 1/2 cups Whole Cow Milk (Preferably from… (more…)

Cute Kids with Smiles

This is one more picture of Kipsongo I have to share. These kids need your prayers. Many of them are malnourished and sick. People have poured money into their community and it never seems to make any difference. They quickly revert back to poverty.

Leaning on the Equator

Merry Christmas everyone. My Parent’s have finally landed in Kenya! This is a picture of us crossing the equator into the Northern Hemisphere. They greatly enjoyed the scenic six hour trip to Mattaw. All the farmers are busy harvesting their maze and drying it in the sun. You could smell the aroma of roasting corn all the way to Kitale. We… (more…)
